I am using the following two classes:-

package com.local.testing;

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class ChatClient {
    JTextField outgoing=null;
    Socket sock=null;
    PrintWriter writer=null;
    public void buildGui(){
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("ChatClient");
        JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
        outgoing = new JTextField(20);
        JButton send = new JButton("send");
        send.addActionListener(new sendButtonActionListener());
        mainPanel.add(outgoing);
        mainPanel.add(send);
        frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER,mainPanel);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setSize(400, 400);
        frame.pack();

        setUpNetworking();
    }

    private void setUpNetworking(){
        try{
        sock  = new Socket("127.0.0.1",4242);
        writer = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream());
        System.out.println("Connection Established");
    }
        catch(UnknownHostException uhe){
            uhe.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch(IOException ioe){
            ioe.getMessage();
        }
        finally{
            if(writer !=null){
                writer.close();
            }
        }
}
    public class sendButtonActionListener implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            //System.out.println(outgoing.getText());
            try{

            writer.println(outgoing.getText()); 
            writer.flush();
            }
            catch(Exception e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            outgoing.setText("");
            outgoing.requestFocus();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String []x){
        ChatClient client = new ChatClient();
        client.buildGui();
    }
}

package com.local.testing;

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class ChatServer {

    public void connectToClient(){
        try {
            ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4242);
            while(true)
            {
                Socket sock = serverSocket.accept();
                InputStreamReader stream = new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream());
                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(stream);
                String chat=reader.readLine();
                System.out.println(chat);
            }
        } 
        catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public static void main(String [] x){
        ChatServer server = new ChatServer();
        server.connectToClient();
    }
}

What could be the issue?

There is something wrong with your setUpNetworking method. If you run the following, you will see that it prints test/test2/null. So you catched the IOException and hence the writer isn't initialized which will throws the NPE :

private void setUpNetworking(){
        System.out.println("test");
        try{
        sock  = new Socket("127.0.0.1",4242);
        writer = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream());
        }
        catch(UnknownHostException uhe){
            System.out.println("test1");
            uhe.printStackTrace();
        }
        catch(IOException ioe){
            System.out.println("test2");
            ioe.getMessage();
        }
        finally{
            if(writer !=null){
                writer.close();
            }
        }
        System.out.println(writer);
}

If you print the stack trace you get :

java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.connect0(Native Method)
at java.net.DualStackPlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Unknown Source)
at java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.doConnect(Unknown Source)

So you have to fix this error.

It seems that your event handler has be been called before your initialisation in buildGui(). So basically make sure that this function is called earlied e.g. in the constructor.

writer.println(outgoing.getText());

writer is initialized to null and never set to an object before above call.(JTextField outgoing=null;
